So I had a destination beach wedding to go to and had everything ready but I looked... pale, and tired. I'm a redhead so tanning is out of the question. Then I got a PM from Amanda Fitzgerald, a SoDu mom with a new business Shine Bronze Bar - which specializes in mobile spray tans! The angels were smiling on me for my rare weekend away! Amanda and her friend Britney Grayson created Shine Bronze Bar (that's them, manning the cool spray gun) to bring the spray tan experience to people instead of us trying to fit it in along with all the other trillions of things on our to-do lists. Such a great idea. And it was totally as simple as it sounds, actually even more so!
Beforehand Amanda told me the preparations to make, like exfoliating and not having lotions, etc. on for the appointment. Then Shine Bronze Bar arrived at my house with everything she needed in two hands: a fan, and all her equipment folded up in her other one. In just moments, she had her pop up spray tent in my living room - yep, it's just like that black tent below (if only my house looked like that). We discussed what depth I wanted for my "tan", and she gave me choices on what to do for my tan line - bikini or au natural! I stepped in, and like a total pro, she sprayed me all over, and we were done before I knew it. They spray includes this super neat bronzer, which is part of their special formula and gives you a preview of the glow you'll get once it develops, which is in 6-8 hours. By the time I got to Miami, I was looking rested and my skin was flawless (without any of the harmful effects of the sun)!
What sets Shine Bronze Bar apart? They use only a top quality spray to keep you looking fresh and youthful. Amanda says that their "Infinity Sun formula uses a special blend of antioxidants and exotic botanicals to keep your skin glowing and moisturized. Infinity Sun is popular with many celebrities and has been mentioned in noteworthy magazines Glamour and Vogue." Ooh la la!
Can I also say that I think this would make an amazing moms-night-in idea, or for all the gals before a wedding? They offer awesome group discounts so you can have Amanda or Britney come over, and you can get Shine Bronze Bar spray tans in addition to movie night and brownies, or go out for mani-pedis afterwards. It was really such a special treat and so convenient, but without the extravagant price tag you'd expect for celebrity to-your-door treatment.

They specialize in customizing your spray tan to get the look you are desire. You can go with a subtle glow, a flawless deep bronze, or anything in between. I love the color their cute client chose on the left. Spray tans have come a long way from when I last had one done for my wedding. They were all a bit orange back then a decade ago, remember? Not now! People won't know it's a spray tan at all, because the application is done so smoothly by their trained professionals. No streaks, speckles, or smudges with Shine Bronze Bar. It's also perfect for vacations because as they tell me, the tan "generally lasts between 7-10 days depending on the pH balance of your skin, your skin cell cycle, and how often you are showering and moisturizing." Mine lasted my whole trip, even with showering and swimming in the ocean and pool. Impressive!
But don't just take my word for it, fellow SoDu mom Stacie Striplin Boyer (on the left) loved her tan. Doesn't it look great? Here's some raves from other happy Shine Bronze Bar customers:
"This was my first experience with a spray tan. Amanda made me feel completely comfortable with the experience, and I've been glowing for days since! Thank you from a first-time bronzer!"
- Leah M.
"I recently had my first spray tan done by Amanda and it was awesome! I am fair skinned and was a little concerned that the spray tan would not look natural, but it truly did. It's so great to have an option for a healthy alternative that doesn't age my skin. Amanda was so professional and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I would absolutely recommend them...will definitely be going back! Thanks ladies!!"
